Came off 12 minutes from time. His only efforts of note were speculative strikes from range that Arrizabalaga saved comfortably. On the flip side, he blocked a dangerous Félix shot and very nearly scored from a corner just before half-time, with only a slight touch from Fofana denying him. Subbed in the 79th minute. Looked unhappy with his teammates' decision-making during the first half. Attempted an ambitious lob after Arrizabalaga's clearance fell to him, but it was dealt with easily enough. After one awful delivery, he asked Chelsea more questions with his next couple of corners. Kostas Tsimikas — Drafted into the team to replace Andy Robertson, he didn't really take his opportunity. Gave the ball away when he stepped out into midfield before Havertz's disallowed effort. His awareness deserted him multiple times. Made a couple of key challenges on Félix. He'll be pushing for more starts there on the back of it.

It has been a while since Bayern Munich sacked their former manager Julian Nagelsmann, in favour of former Chelsea FC manager Thomas Tuchel.

As fate had it, a sudden news leak forced the board to come clean and put forth the formal news of his sacking. The contract of five years with the fee of €25 million made one thing very clear — the club believed in his vision enough to entrust a massive, long-term project in his hands. It was sudden and unexpected, for both the fans and an unsuspected Nagelsmann who was enjoying a quiet ski vacation. The Rekordmeister certainly aren’t the kind to throw money around for anyone, but they wanted Nagelsmann and came in ready with a huge amount. Chelsea are currently managed by interim manager Bruno Saltor, who took over after Graham Potter’s sacking. Though it has been lesser than two weeks since the sacking was announced, it feels a lot longer than that because of simply how much has transpired.
